Our School

After School Club

The After School Club operates within the values and guidelines of the school. However, it differs from lessons and in that its’ emphasis is on providing good quality play care for your child after a busy day at school.

About the Club

The After School Homework club offers an affordable childcare solution for parents/carers of children attending The Victory Primary School.

The club caters for children from Reception to Year six and therefore complies with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation stage.

It is located in the Nurture room and it runs Mondays to Fridays during term time.

What Happens Between 3:30pm & 5:30pm?

The club offers a variety of activities, allowing for children to play, learn and develop. There is a range of equipment and toys that meet their varying needs, giving children opportunities to read, draw, make and play. On sunny days children will also be allowed outside to play, under strict supervision.

Children are able to work on their school homework tasks with adult support.

What Food & Drink is Available?

Healthy snacks, such as breadsticks, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, cereal bars and toast are prepared in the Nurture kitchen area. Drinking water and squash is available at all times. Any special dietary requirements must be indicated upon registration.

Health & Safety

The After School Club complies with the school’s Health & Safety policy.

There are at least three members of staff on duty at all times to ensure we are able to meet your child’s needs. We work within a ratio of 1:8 for children under 8 years old.

Promoting Positive Behaviour

Our High 5 Values and school rules are on display and all children are expected to comply with these. Positive behaviour is rewarded and celebrated. However any child displaying challenging behaviour and who may pose a risk to their own/other’s safety, may be refused a place at the After School club.

Children with Special Needs are welcome in our club and staff will work closely with parents/carers to ensure their needs are met.
